I want to format a cell to return a number value with a text, depending on
what the value of the number is. For example if A1 contains the value 4.1%, then I want to use a formula in B1 to read "4.1% more work days", if the number in A1 is negative, I need B1 to read "4.1 fewer work days". The catch is that I also want to add additional text, based on an if then statement which I can add with no problem. Therefore, I cannot simply use a custom number format in the cell format, and need to use a formula. My challenge is formatting using the following as a starting point: =TEXT(A1,"##.##%_more;##.##%_more")&" workdays". Unfortunately, this formula does not work, and I am not sure what I am missing. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks much |
